Trying to compare two strings in XSLT and outcome is not coming as expected - xslt-1.0

Question

I'm trying to compare two strings in XSLT and wanted hard coded response as outcome
I have tried keeping an if condition in XSLT but it is providing me two results
<xsl:template name="variableTransformation">
<xsl:param name="text"/>
<xsl:param name="delimiters" select="' /-'"/>
<xsl:variable name="upper" select="'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'"/>
<xsl:variable name="lower" select="'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'"/>
<xsl:variable name="nextDelimiter" select="substring(translate($text, translate($text, $delimiters, ''), ''), 1, 1)" />
<xsl:variable name="string" select="substring-before(concat($text, ' '), substring(concat($nextDelimiter, ' '), 1, 1))" />
<xsl:value-of select="translate(substring($string, 1, 1), $lower, $upper)"/>
<xsl:value-of select="translate(substring($string, 2), $upper, $lower)"/>
<xsl:if test="$nextDelimiter">
<xsl:value-of select="$nextDelimiter" />
<xsl:call-template name="variableTransformation">
<xsl:with-param name="text" select="substring-after($text, $nextDelimiter)"/>
<xsl:with-param name="delimiters" select="$delimiters"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="$text='SELF EMPLOYED'">
<xsl:value-of select="'Self-Employed'"></xsl:value-of>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="$text='SKILL TRADE'">
<xsl:value-of select="'Skilled Trade'"></xsl:value-of>
